Kevin's Watch

Entrancement (Manipulation + Empathy + Majesty) roll: 6 successes (exceptional success!). Oliver is entranced for at least a week.

Oliver is overcome by Tatiana's discipline and her stunning looks. He stumbles backward, as though the emotions flooding his body and soul are threatening to overwhelm him. Utterly and completely captivated by the vampire standing with him underneath the bridge, he sinks to his knees. "Sorry there," he says softly. "Uh . . . I um . . . not sure how to put it; but are you single? I mean, I don't normally ask women out under bridges." He laughs. "Okay, yes. Yes it is exciting. Never seen this before. There must be some passage inside the pylon. But that would threaten the whole structure - load bearing and all that. Must be amazing engineering."

Oliver places the flashlight down and opens his bag, rummaging through it for tools.

Seeing him on his knees, as if in supplication, proves too great a temptation to resist....pausing briefly to seek out any hidden observers, she turns her attention upon her new toy, kneeling before her..."Is strange down here...dark, little scary...but...exciting, yes?" she breathes huskily, hands toying with her shirt, smiling coquettishly at him, before removing the garment, her hands dropping to tangle in his hair, bringing his head to her now-bared stomach

Oliver is completely a tool of Tatiana, and even if he is aware of it, he gives himself completely to her. Enraptured by her, as though his whole existence is focused on the Russian vampire. She feels his warm, trembling breath against her stomach, his hands reaching up to her thighs. Around, the sound of lapping water.

Eyes half-closed, she guides his head along....murmuring, "Yes" as his hands fumble at the waist of her jeans, shimmy her hips as he tugs down, unnecessary breaths coming faster in remembered instinct.

-1 Vitae for stimulating dead organs.

Some time later, Oliver collapses against Tatiana, his energy and seed spent. His breathing slows from its rushed urgency, and the sweat on his body runs down his smooth skin. A moist wind blows across the river and he shivers.

"Never done it under a bridge before," he says, looking cautiously up at the superstructure. The sounds of metal stretching and bending echoes in the dark space. "Thanks for that."

Tatiana can see his veins pulsing with force and vigour, blood coursing through his muscular body with warmth and life.

As he is distracted in the afterglow, Tatiana snuggles in closer, and administer a few playful nips before actually sinking her fangs in.

Feeding (Presence + Persuasion +1 [seduction specialty]): 3 successes. Oliver has 7 health points, therefore Tatiana can drink up to 7 points of Vitae.

Her fangs sink deep into Oliver's neck, warm blood oozes out. It has hints of masculinity and vitality, rich and necessary. Her mouth is flooded with the crimson substance, and it pours down her neck feeding her dead heart.

Oliver arches his back in pleasure and grasps Tatiana's body. His eyes roll back, and he grins as though caught in a blissful, lethal dream.

Keep an eye on that odd patch of wall....

Tatiana drinks some of Oliver's blood. She was never hungry, and now she has more than enough blood to satiate her beast and to exist without feeding for some time. Oliver, too, is satiated. The bridge worker breathes out a sigh of pleasure and rolls over on to his chest looking at the vampire with wonder and absolute devotion.

"You're amazing," he says with a smile. "What a night."

Nothing unusual happens at the pylon.

Feigning utter satiation, Tatiana spends some time "cuddling", before electing to take her leave. "Was very good surprise, to meet you. I look for you again soon, yes? Am having big project soon, little free time. But will find you after, da?" with a brilliant smile.

Oliver groggily gets to his feet, stumbles against the pylon and laughs weakly. "Yeah, that would be great. Absolutely." There was a clicking sound as he fell against the structure, and Tatiana could see a slight gap in the wall - a tall, narrow space no more than five millimeters wide. It was though there was a moveable panel in the pylon, like a door.

Carefully marking this place, and the activation in her well-trained memory, Tatiana takes her leave. "I will look for you soon, yes? Was wonderful...little scary, strong man with me, romantic light, river sounds, soothing". As she finishes fixing her clothes and retracing the path down...then heading back to her haven. (unless something noteworthy happens)

Tatiana leaves the pylon and Oliver, climbing up the ladder and walking away under the superstructure of Nobility Bridge. As she heads off in the direction of her car, she hears a splash - a large fish or a homeless person falling into the water - and then silence.

A few quick strides to get to overlooking the river, from a vantage point somewhat downriver.....looking to see if I see a body come floating by....

Tatiana leans over the railing to get a better view of the dark river rushing beneath the bridge. The water slides by in the night, perhaps deceptively peaceful. Besides the metal groaning of the bridge and the sounds of traffic above, nothing can be heard. There is a strange, peaceful quality to the river, which no body or violent act appears to have broken.

Then Tatiana makes her way back to her haven, to plan a return trip.

Tatiana's car accelerates away from Nobility Bridge, speeding through the night. Ten minutes later she stops before the haven.
